The Airturn arrived today and is working just beautifully in MSword format, (on my macbook pro laptop), and scrolls through my lyrics/music almost intuitively! You have truly changed the way I'll be able to play live, (acoustic guitar and singing), as I'll no longer need to lug my monstrously large music 3-ring binders around, (nor will I need to be clumsily thumbing through pages when folks ask for requests!). Thank you, thank you, thank you. Your attention to customer service was brilliant too - I will definitely be spreading the word to fellow musicians.
